Such was the case with my brief, but incredibly fun interview with writer/director Alex Garland whose feature directorial debut, Ex Machina, is in theaters now and it packs a sci-fi wallop with plenty of room for post-screening discussion and we only skim the tip of the iceberg in the following chat.
To put it simply, Ex Machina centers on a young programmer (Domhnall Gleeson) chosen to participate in a Turing test for the eccentric Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), CEO of a tech giant that has just made a significant breakthrough in the realm of artificial intelligence, her name is Ava (Alicia Vikander).
Garland and I discuss the story's origins, whether it's fear or hope we see

Following the featurette released last month, the first clip has debuted from A24 Films' Ex Machina. This intense psychological thriller centers on Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a 24 year old coder at the world's largest internet company, who wins a competition to spend a week at a retreat belonging to the company's reclusive CEO, Nathan (Oscar Isaac). But when Caleb arrives he finds that he will have to participate in a fascinating experiment with the world's first true artificial intelligence, housed in the body of a beautiful robot woman, Ava (Alicia Vikander).
